<p>If you have watched the lecture in the section titled <strong>Latest Version of Node.js</strong> you will notice ES6 imports might work for you! Congratulations! That means you have Node version 12.2.0 or higher! As time will pass, you will encounter less and less use of CommonJS modules and more Node projects using native ES6 modules. However, I have kept the CommonJS way of importing and exporting since it will be good practice for us when we encounter older codebases (and because we have already learned about ES6 style imports/exports previously)</p>
